Like the fisherman who gets 100 miles offshore and sez to his deckhand, as a 40 foot wave rises over the bow…. “whats the weather gonna do?” 8)
The decking and it’s wet reflective quality is the icing on this visual feats of colours and repetitive lines. Love the texture details you’ve broufght out too Andy. The path is a great lead by contrast of colour and tone and draws my viewing eye along it’s meandering way.

Welcome to flickr, Andy. I’ve found it a marvelously supportive community. It’s difficult to get people I know (my friends?) to look at my photostream, yet I can upload an image and get responses from flickr members from all over the world. Membership has been incredibly motivating.
